Condemned

Response to this claim

Ossoff’s remark was sexist and misogynistic because it reduced a female White House aide’s professional role to a sexual implication.

“This misogynistic attack from Jon Ossoff was disgusting.”

Defended or excused

Response to this claim

The Justice Department complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

“by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him.”

Why we used this label

The reference point is the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files under the 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act, which the Epstein Files Transparency Act II would let states, victims and members of Congress challenge in court. Jackson cites the administration's document releases and Trump's signing of the law as evidence that he has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone, which defends the administration's handling of the files.
